Letters: Attention America: You better stick with Israel

The Bible clearly teaches that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. A wise preacher friend once told me, "If America abandons Israel, there may be no more America."

There are four principles that support Israel's right to the land. 1. Prior Possession — The Jewish presence goes back to Antiquity; 2. The Abrahamic Covenant — God's promise to the father of faith in the book of Genesis; 3. The Balfour Declaration — The early 20th century resolution that the world agreed to giving Israel a mere 18 percent of the land and the Arabs 72percent; 4. Military Might — Ignoring it creates the absurd requirement that only Israel return land it won in battle.

Here is what the leader of the Palestinian people has to say about peace:

"I will never allow a single Israeli to live among us on Palestinian land," said Mahmoud Abbas, July 28, 2010, speaking to Egyptian media.
